Kathy Gabriel
Founder, Craniosacral Therapist & Associate Counsellor
Kathy Gabriel is an integrative bodyworker, licensed Craniosacral Therapist (CST), and counsellor. She brings a holistic, trauma-informed somatic approach to therapy that honours the interconnectedness of the mind and body.
Her practice combines Craniosacral Therapy with soft tissue mobilisation, neural and visceral manipulation techniques to guide the body and mind towards balance. Alongside hands-on work, Kathy supports clients in pain management and psychoeducation, with an emphasis on whole-person care that integrates all facets of well-being.
Her deepest purpose lies in providing safe spaces for deeper connection and inquiry. She is passionate about helping others explore their internal landscape in order to engage in meaningful self-inquiry and greater well-being. Soma Haus is the manifestation of her dream to build community, transform our perspective of health, and bring holistic wellness education to a wider audience.
